Hi! I am freelance lighting designer and technician currently based in Knoxville, Tennessee, where I recently graduated from the University of Tennessee—Knoxville double majoring in English with a Literature Concentration, and Theatre with double Design & Technology and Honors concentrations. In addition to studying lighting design for theatre, I also enjoyed courses in dance lighting, projection design (check out my Tokyo cat animation!), photography for the stage, and sound design, which both fulfilled personal interests and further rounded out my artistry. I still read linguistics, specifically sociolinguistics and second language acquisition, and am interested in language ideologies people hold around dialects and bilingualism.
